姐妹们终于以 50 万美元的天价出售了缺少铸币标记的稀有硬币

俄亥俄州的姐妹们获得了这枚一角硬币，她们已故的兄弟在去世后将其保存在银行金库中长达 40 多年。

Three sisters in Ohio have finally managed to sell a rare coin with a missing mint for a whopping $500,000 after decades of it being locked up in a family vault.

俄亥俄州的三姐妹终于成功以 50 万美元的价格出售了一枚缺少铸币的稀有硬币，这枚硬币被锁在家庭金库中数十年。

The sisters gained access to the dime, which their late brother had kept in a bank vault for over 40 years, once he’d died. It features President Franklin D. Roosevelt on its obverse and it was struck by the U.S. Mint in San Francisco in 1975, but the error coin was only discovered in the 1970s.

姐妹俩获得了这枚一毛钱，她们已故的兄弟在去世后将其保存在银行金库中长达 40 多年。它的正面印有富兰克林·罗斯福总统的头像，由旧金山美国造币厂于 1975 年铸造，但错误硬币直到 20 世纪 70 年代才被发现。

It’s extraordinarily rare because it makes up just one of two known coins to exist without an S mint mark - to reflect where it was made.

它极其罕见，因为它只是已知的两种没有 S 造币厂标记（以反映其制造地）的硬币之一。

The sisters, who chose to be anonymous, told a California auction house that their brother and mom bought the error coin in 1978. They forked out a sum of $18,200 for the exclusive coin - roughly equating to $90,000 today.

这对不愿透露姓名的姐妹告诉加州一家拍卖行，她们的兄弟和妈妈在 1978 年买下了这枚错误硬币。她们花了 18,200 美元买下了这枚独家硬币，大约相当于今天的 90,000 美元。

Their parents operated a dairy farm and saw the coin as a financial safety net. Their brother opted to secure the prized coin in a bank vault so the family could use it as a rainy day fund if the need ever arose.

他们的父母经营一家奶牛场，并将硬币视为金融安全网。他们的兄弟选择将这枚珍贵的硬币存放在银行金库中，以便家人在需要时可以将其用作未雨绸缪的资金。

The sisters went on to pocket an astonishing $506,250 in an online auction on Sunday, according to Ian Russell, president of GreatCollections, an auction house based in Irvine, California.

加利福尼亚州欧文市 GreatCollections 拍卖行总裁伊恩·拉塞尔 (Ian Russell) 表示，姐妹俩在周日的在线拍卖中拍出了惊人的 506,250 美元。

The only other known example of the 1975 no S proof dime was sold at a 2019 auction for $456,000 before being resold to a private collector months later.

唯一已知的 1975 年无 S 精制一毛钱硬币在 2019 年的一次拍卖会上以 456,000 美元的价格售出，几个月后转售给一位私人收藏家。

The San Francisco mint made more than 2.8 million special uncirculated proof sets in 1975 that featured six coins and were sold for $7.

1975 年，旧金山造币厂铸造了超过 280 万枚特殊的未流通精制币，其中包含 6 枚硬币，售价为 7 美元。

Collectors a few years later discovered that two dimes from the set were missing the mint mark.

几年后，收藏家发现这套硬币中有两枚缺少造币厂标记。

It comes after a 1837 Seated Dime sold for $3,750 in October - and could be worth even more under the right circumstances.

此前，一枚 1837 年坐式一毛硬币在 10 月份以 3,750 美元的价格售出，在适当的情况下可能价值更高。

The 1837 Seated Dime marks a significant chapter in American coinage, being part of the Seated Liberty series that ran from 1837 to 1891.

1837 年坐像一角硬币是 1837 年至 1891 年坐像自由女神系列的一部分，标志着美国铸币的重要篇章。

The coin’s "No Stars" variety is particularly valuable because of its limited mintage period, Heritage Auctions reports.

据 Heritage Auctions 报道，该硬币的“无星”品种因其发行期限有限而特别有价值。

It was struck only at the Philadelphia Mint in 1837 and the New Orleans Mint in 1838. Coins from these early mints are rare, and this dime's exceptional state makes it a coveted find for collectors.

它仅于 1837 年在费城造币厂和 1838 年在新奥尔良造币厂铸造。这些早期造币厂生产的硬币非常罕见，这枚 10 角硬币的特殊状态使其成为收藏家梦寐以求的发现。
